Question Revo SS Question

Anyone know if it's necessary to get a different clutch assembly to get the most out of the Revo SS? I am asking because there is so much play in the clutch engagement (don't know the term for this), that it would seem as if it would be hard to use the clutch that fast to avoid grinding. Any input is appreciated.

nope.

there's play cuz the rubber/plastic mount that allows the shifter to shift up and down... isn't as good as the stock one.

using some washers and better clips will reduce some.. but u can't totally eliminate it.. I have thought a lot about it but yeah... I cant see any practical way without totally restricting the ability of the shifter to move from left to right..

is that what you're talking about? left to right movement? say you're in gear.. u can still move the shifter from left to right a wee bit... or a lot.

thats cuz of the lower pivot point... i use to thought it was the springs, but its not.

No, I am talking about the clutch engagement slop. The time it takes from when you depress the clutch to engagement and the time it takes to press it back in for another shift where you can actually shift into another gear. You know how the stock is soft and has a long engagement? Well, I want to know since the Revo SS is shorter shifting than stock, if a clutch would have to match with equal performance so a gear is not grinded because of how long it takes to utilize the clutch.

eh.

a diff. clutch may help... like a racing one thats much heavier compare to our soft one.. but er... I'm not sure. personally the Revo SS isnt that big of a deal... I dont think it changed throw enough to warrant a new clutch.

I have a thought on further shortening the throw or shifting though...



see how it ends at around er.. #13 and #12? if u mess with that u may be able to further shorten or adjust the shifting...

anyway I dont think a new clutch would be worth it.

unless u dont mind working out ur left leg.
